Olympus XA 2
The Olympus XA series of cameras were an innovative range of very compact cameras in clam-shell cases. They were designed for Olympus by Maitani Yoshihisa. The XA series was largely replaced by the Stylus/mju series in 1991, but continue to have a cult following today.
The XA2, introduced in 1980, was a simplified version of the XA with zone focusing and a programmed exposure system. Its Zuiko 35mm f/3.5 lens had four elements in four groups. The exposure meter was a CdS exposure sensor above the lens. Shutter speed range was 2 secs. to 1/750. The minimum focusing distance was 3 feet or .9 meters. Its film speed range was ASA 25 -800. Limited supplies in white, red and blue were also produced.
